James Taylor / Same Title
Japan Early Press LP


Apple AP - 80317

Appendices: "Medal OBI", "G/F Cover", “Inner-Bag” & "Insert"

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in 1969 or a little later ) of his 1st album, coming with complete appendices. “Apple” medal is attached to the upper portion of front obi, which is pretty popular in the market. The disc is not red but ordinary black. The price on obi & cover is JPY2200. It's very hard to find this item in complete shape even in my country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: G+/NM ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is partly worn on the corners, bottom & lightly other outer edges. It’s stained with brown spots along lower center-fold inside gate-fold, while being scraped on its upper portion. The left corners are creased. Outside is clean. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. A faint scuff is on Side A-5. Otherwise it has none of any scratch, hairline & spindle-mark on each label, which can be rated as "NM". No flaw on the groove of Side B and mostly on Side A…very clean disc, we guarantee you.

OBI: VG+, being creased and torn short in the right top corner of front. The supply-tag is still in the top of back side.

INSERT: VGs, being slightly rippled and tanned on the surface of each side.

INNER-BAG: G+, being rippled with ring-crease on each side.
